Education Has Never Looked So Good
Ellicott City, MD, June 2, 2004 — Brook Group, a leading provider of Web site and Web application development services, has redesigned and developed a new public Web site for Calvert School. The site, available at calvertschool.org, is a dynamic, database-driven site powered by Brook Group’s Tacklebox® Content Management System (CMS).
Calvert School is one of the leading private K-8 educational institutions in the Northeast. During the past century, the school has developed a unique curriculum and core of services that has established Calvert as the nation’s leading provider of products and services to homeschool parents, students, and administrators. The curriculum and services also are sold to schools worldwide to support their educational efforts.
Brook Group redesigned the Calvert site to clearly delineate the organization's three primary entities and missions: the school, the homeschooling community, and customers—national and international—that purchase the curriculum and related services. Brook Group also helped Calvert School clarify site navigation for their varied audiences, provide a strong and attractive brand approach, and implement a hosted content management system, Tacklebox, to reduce the cost of maintaining the site.
